Frida Kahlo in a Picasso Style. Oil on wood, 1980 by F. Lennox Campello

In 1980, as part of a student assignment at the University of Washington School of Art in Seattle, we created multiple artworks "in the style" of masters. As part of my highly documented Fridamania, I painted the above oil of Frida Kahlo in the style of Picasso.

I honestly can't recall when it was eventually sold, but I think it was in my show at Georgetown's Fraser Gallery a decade ago, as that show chronicled what was then 27 years of my obsessive interest in Kahlo (read the Washington City Paper review here)

Anyway, this work just made an appearance, as I was contacted by the new owners, who acquired it at an auction in Florida recently!
